Pushing Daisies: Season Two Soundtrack Release

by Trevor Kimball, March 13, 2011

Appropriately, Pushing Daisies is a show that remains popular, even past its demise… ur, cancellation. Two years after the show’s end, Varese Sarabande is putting out the soundtrack for season two of the series. It’s available for pre-order from Amazon for $15.81 and will be released on April 5th. Jim Dooley, who won an Emmy Award for his work on Pushing Daisies in 2008, is the composer.

Here are the details:

PUSHING DAISIES: Season 2
Music Composed by Jim Dooley

Dig into a delicious second helping of Pushing Daisies, the multiple Emmy® Award-winning series. In the second and final season, Ned (Lee Pace) and his alive-again love Chuck (Anna Friel) have more on the menu when family skeletons — both literal and figurative — loom over the Pie Hole and its patrons. As jockey-cum-waitress Olive Snook (Emmy® award winner Kristin Chenoweth) joins a nunnery to mend her broken heart, the Pie Maker who broke it hides Chuck from her Aunt Vivian (Ellen Greene) and mother Lily (Swoozie Kurtz), who believe she’s dead. Naturally, this results in resurrecting Chuck’s father, who actually was dead. Private Investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) has daddy issues of his own when his baby-stealing baby-mama finds herself at the center of a murder case. Narrating the proceedings is Jim Dale, who has won countless fans and two Grammy awards for the audiobooks of the Harry Potter series.

The show’s devoted fans have long been clamoring for this second season soundtrack, and we’re happy at last to make Jim Dooley’s charming and whimsical score available on CD.

Season 2 of PUSHING DAISIES is available on DVD and Blu-Ray from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

And for those keeping track, there’s no release date for the Pushing Daisies comic book yet. Last fall, series creator Bryan Fuller said that it’s on track for a 2011 release and may have a companion soundtrack.

Glad to see that Pushing Daisies continues to live in some sort, even after it’s cancellation. Can’t wait for the comics, hope they’ll be out soon. The second season soundtrack is bound to be good, might buy it. And, it really does continue to be popular past its cancellation. There’s a surprising amount of people I know who were a fan before I was. I just wish, due to this fact, that ABC would give it another shot. It was my favorite show! (sob)

Met Chi McBride at Comic Con 2010 and he had run into Fuller thirty minutes prior. Told me he saw some samples from the comic book and it was still on track and looking good. Well he were going on like 8-9 months later. As I told McBride, it’ll be good, but not the same without the actors
